The victim, a 42-year-old Glassboro woman, is still being treated at Cooper University Hospital, in Camden, for a "severe lower leg injury," according to Woodbury police Captain Timothy Sheehan.

Scanner reports at the time of the collision indicated she had suffered a fractured foot.

White had been taken to Underwood Memorial Hospital for an anxiety attack following the accident. He has since been released.

Emergency crews responded to the scene, at the intersection of Broad and Cooper streets, shortly after 11 a.m., where they found a delivery truck stopped on the crosswalk, and an unidentified victim in the street.

Puddles of blood could be seen in the crosswalk.

The truck, owned by Hy-Point Dairy Farms, based in Wilmington, Del., had been making a right from Cooper onto Broad Street. The driver had a green light, according to police.

Following the collision, White was standing outside his truck, wearing an oxygen mask. He initially declined further medical treatment, but later began suffering an anxiety attack and was transported to the hospital for respiratory problems.
